  • Electrochemical membrane incinerator
    Patent number: 6204428
    Abstract: Electrochemical incineration of p-benzoquinone was evaluated as a model for the mineralization of carbon in toxic aromatic compounds. A Ti or Pt anode was coated with a film of the oxides of Ti, Ru, Sn and Sb. This quaternary metal oxide film was stable; elemental analysis of the electrolyzed solution indicated the concentration of these metal ions to be 3 &mgr;g/L or less. The anode showed good reactivity for the electrochemical incineration of benzoquinone. The use of a dissolved salt matrix as the so-called “supporting electrolyte” was eliminated in favor of a solid-state electrolyte sandwiched between the anode and cathode.
